Reviewing the Printer Setup
The Printer parameters found in Setup Printer are preset at the factory and should not need
to be changed unless an issue develops.
If a change to these settings is needed, be sure to record the changes on the Default settings
sticker located on the back of the Printer.
Caution: These settings are optimized at the factory and will rarely need to be
changed.
Step Procedure
1
Caution: Do not alter these settings unless directed to do so by Fargo
Technical Support or instructions in this Service Manual Changing these
settings may negatively affect Printer output. (Note: Located on the back of the
Printer is a label that states the factory defaults for all settings, along with the
Printer serial number.)
a. Use these values to reset the Printer for Printer problems.
b. To adjust Print Offset, Transfer Temperature, Flattener Temperature or
Image Darkness, attempt to make these changes through the Printer Driver
Image Transfer and Image color controls prior to changing the internal
Printer settings.
2 Perform these four (4) procedures as a single alignment process: Transfer
Tension, Print Offset, Transfer TOF and Transfer EOF.
• The goal of these procedures is to align the printed image and the HDP Film
precisely with the edges of the card. (Note: When aligned properly, the edge
of the card will fall directly between all of the Outer and Inner Alignment
Arrows.)
• The numbers being entered for the settings are measured in Pixels.
• The number of Pixels is equal to the measurement in inches multiplied by
300. (Note: For example, 0.100 in. multiplied by 300 equals 30 Pixels (0.1 x
300 = 30).)
• The alignment test image is designed for setting these parameters.
